Installed to small 2GB SD card, in mini USB reader. Loaded and running well on two older dual core systems.

Same problems as others observed with VLC. Is this the same workaround required as Quirky 8.1.6 with the package name hack? Didn't try that yet. Just tried installing MPV and SMPlayer and that works fine.

Also some problems with speaker volume control. Always have to fiddle with it on this laptop with analog on 2nd card, but couldn't make it work here. Alsamixer worked though, to raise level and unmute, just not tray speaker icon control. Video and Youtube worked fine.

Okay. I broke the Seamonkey in Container. It worked the first few times and then, nothing. I installed right-click tools; not sure if it created some sort of conflict. Not sure how to boot Seamonkey container without the Menu so she's a goner.... for now.

You can do it from a terminal:

Just in case it is still running:

# stop-container seamonkey

This will start the container and launch seamonkey:

# ec-chroot seamonkey

Also, it should be possible to run seamonkey, or any app, from within the "sh0" container._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

Experienced a hard hang on 2nd laptop test system. Worked initially, but after installing a just a few things, hangs with black screen or frozen mouse pointer on black screen at late stage of bootup.

Only installed B43 firmware, configured networking, and installed MPV/SMPlayer and browsed and played some videos I think. Will go back later and see if I can reproduce.

For now, I was trying something else. Tested with a VirtualBox install onto VHD, and that went fine, fully functional. Then with a few things tested there, did a manual hard drive install on the laptop. Copied boot and work files into existing Windows and Quirky partitions respectively, edited BOOT_SPECS, and looks to be functioning fine.(much faster than the USB)

This time, tried the zvlc hack and that did get the VLC program to launch, but getting h.264 error when trying to play MP4 video. This workaround did work in Quirky 8.1.6.

BTW - The screenshot went to mnt/sdf2/home/media/images ... Pretty deep sub-directory. Found it but not very user friendly going that deep... in my opinion, of course. Couldn't attach the screenshot, either. Too big to attach on this board...

Anyway, thanks for all...

p.s. - Did you scrap the old firewall for security reasons or just a change of pace? - thanks...

Yesterday I compiled the 4.10.4 kernel, with the express purpose of enabling that option. However, from the description, is seems that it doesn't really do anything, only provides a fallback if special firmware is provided, and a kernel boot commandline option provided.

Also, it seems to only be required if the monitor is "broken" and the kernel is unable to read its edid.

tried to load it via the container instructions/scripts but it didn't. I followed what I thought were the instruction and checked multiple times.

Sorry but do you have a walkthrough of how and where as i'm use to just installing, or should I just unpack, dir2pet, and install it?

OH it took nearly forever to get loaded on a 64gig stick (all I had at the time free) but it did eventually install and convert the q.sfs across, but it's still slow starting. I think i'd rather just be able to install it in quirky format for a permanent set. On the other hand at least it loaded on the dell boxes that won't handle the normal .sfs's.
